Built in 1974, this earth dam stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 224 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is to provide water for various agricultural and residential needs in the area.
Despite its importance, the dam is currently not rated for its condition assessment and lacks a hazard potential evaluation. However, the risk assessment indicates a high level of risk, highlighting the need for regular inspections and potential risk management measures in the future. With no spillway and limited information on associated structures, the dam's capacity to handle emergencies and maintain operational efficiency may be a concern for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
Given its critical role in water supply, the Monte Cartado Ranch Tank No 2 Dam presents an opportunity for further study and evaluation to ensure its structural integrity and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions. By addressing potential risks and implementing necessary measures, this dam can continue to support the water needs of the surrounding community while minimizing the impact of any unforeseen events.
